Tribe MEGASTIGMINI. 



In the Proceedings of the Entomological Society of Washington 

 (vol. 12, 1910, p. 93), I called attention to the fact that Dr. Gustav 

 Mayr had long ago corrected the error in regard to the number of 

 spurs on the hind tibiae in this tribe, but that this correction had been 

 ignored. A reexamination of specimens of the type-species of the 

 genus Megastigmus determined by Doctor Mayr, as weU as all other 

 species of the genus examined by me, show two well-developed spurs 

 on the liind tibiae. As the tribe Pulvilligerini Strand was erected 

 because of two apical spurs (and the supposed absence of one in the 

 Megastigmini) it appears to be a synonym.
